The invention relates to a
metal polishing agent, which is prepared from the following components in percentage by weight: 2 to 7 percent of dodecyl
benzene sulfonic acid sodium, 1.5 to 5 percent of
sodium oleate, 8 to 15 percent of
ethanol, 4 to 8 percent of emulsifying agent NP-10, 5 to 8 percent of emulsifying agent TW-80, 0.2 to 0.8 percent of
oleic acid triamide
alcohol, 1 to 4 percent of
coconut oil alkyl alcohol amide phosphate, 1 to 4 percent of antifoaming agent, 0.5 to 2.5 percent of
sodium phosphate, 1 to 3 percent of
sodium citrate, 0.3 to 1.2 percent of
cysteine LBGAS, 0.35 to 1 percent of
potassium hydroxide, and the balance of water. A method for preparing the
metal polishing agent comprises the following steps: putting the prepared
metal polishing agent components into a temperature adjustable reaction kettle in turn, heating the components to between 30 and 80 DEG C, and stirring the components for 3 hours under the condition of heat preservation to obtain a finished product. The polishing agent is stable, has strong brightness coverage capability, can increase the brightness of a metal surface, has little decomposed product, has no corrosive gas, and is favorable for
environmental protection and body health of workers.
